Dear All, Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)!
Have you ever thought about why A person who isn’t telling the whole truth may clear their throat, stammer or change their pitch as if to try and sway your attention away from their lie or in order to stall so they may have time to think up a valid answer or plausible explanation? Additionally, foot tapping or bouncing, blushing, putting our hand to our face, turning away or raising our shoulders may all be indicators that we are uncomfortable with the conversation because we are not telling the truth. These are just a few things that are important for every day communication. Non-verbal communication, also known as body language, often supersede spoken language during communication. The shrug of the shoulder, subtle facial expressions, and other seemingly minor visual cues and clues sometimes are worth more than even a thousand words. As a visually challenged individual however, do you struggle to incorporate this ability in your professional meetings, personal interactions, and fail to convey that which words cannot express? We invite you to the May 2018 BGFI Knowledge sharing session which will be conducted by Savita John Sr. Principal Consultant at Kaleidoscope Consulting Most people make an impression about you within seconds just by observing your body language, Be it a job interview, a social gathering or a date with your special one. You are expected to display appropriate body language even if you cannot see and read other’s body language. The session will cover all key aspects of body language including eye contact, upper and lower body posture, facial expressions, Dos and donts. We will also touch upon body language displayed typically by persons with visual impairment. Let’s also discuss and together find out if there are ways to read or infer certain aspects of body language of others without really seeing. Date: Saturday, 26th May, 2018.
